Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

[PeteC]

To add another twist to the mood, we harvested some Jack Fruit from our tree and it's now ripe. The wife cut all those this morning while the pie was cooking. If you close your eyes and use your imagination, the fruit smells a bit like fresh Christmas trees. Only in Thailand! Pete

Played golf today and it was pleasure to walk the course rather than disappear in a bucket of sweat.
And, as a result,the golf was pretty good.

^ That typhoon that just went through the Philippines is churning things up a bit. It's a low pressure cell now and entering the South Asian* Sea but they're still saying rain for my side next week, expecting some aftermath to enter the Gulf. Pete

I've just been reading the weather warning for Prachuab Kiri Khan for 21 to 24 Dec. Sounds as if you could be swimming your way around the golf course next week lomu.

Ah, just as well that I'm taking next week off. Xmas and all that.
Hopefully, things will have dried out by w/c 27th Dec!!

Interesting satellite image. One ex-typhoon and ex-tropical storm coming together. Question now I guess is if it will make a turn into the gulf and intensify. Reports aren't saying much at the moment, except some rain Dec 22-23-24. Pete

UPDATE: The rainmaker hitting the southeast coast around Chumphon is inching north towards Hua Hin. We had a half hour of heavy rain here in Rayong last evening. Below satellite links still accurate showing current data. Pete

Raining with plenty of old testament thunder and lightening here at the moment, and last night. Large waves too, great sleeping weather.

^ The way it looks now I don't think it's going to make it north of where it is at the moment. But......the BBC said rain for Bangkok tomorrow so I'm lost concerning further predictions at the moment. Pete

[Dannie Boy]

No sign of rain where I am, it was fairly cloudy this morning but that's broken and largely blue skies now. Pity, because the towns water has dried up so not enough to water the garden tomorrow

[Dannie Boy]

They were predicting rain at 5 am this morning but not a sight of it.............but I have no problem with them bring 2 hours late, as we are getting a nice shower now.

I dropped my son at work at about 5:45 this morning, and the rain was very hard in Hua Hin. Only lasted about 10 minutes though.

I added a web cam for Cha Am to Weather Underground. Boring, but if you want a quick glimpse of what it's like outside in this part of the world, it works. Only active during the daytime.

Weather Underground compiles timelapse videos which are mildly amusing.

Note that I'm only at this location for a few days a month. If it crashes, not much I can do about it.

[PeteC]

It's working for me. A bit gloomy looking as I guess the sun hasn't made it up over the cloud bank to the east yet. Pete

How often does it refresh Ratsima?

[Ratsima]

Refresh is every four minutes. However, I depend on WU grabbing the still images from my website. I'm not sure how often they do that. It should be the same.
